Well first of all let me spout out the information that doesn't really matter to me. I got back here in this place at 2 in the morning. Called my supervisor up and it sucked, cause he told me I had to go up on the BTZ board and present myself. For those of you that have no clue what I'm talking about which I say thats everyone, its me going in a room with a bunch of high ranking officials, and I have to do all the pretty little military things, and get asked some questions. I just got back from it, and let me tell you, it sucked. My ears are stopped up right now for some reason, so I couldn't hear them tell me to come in, I am congested right now and my nose is kinda stopped up so I sounded like a very nasal smoker, and I didn't get too much sleep last night because I had to spend a lot of time on my uniform and boots, which they still looked like a bag of butt. Also I screwed up on some of my military baring by not saluting the head of the board once I left. There is no way I'm gonna get it. I guess I'll have to wait till June of 2006 when they have to give it to me. haha. If I had not taken leave and prepared myself for this board, I would have aced it. But you know what I don't care. Me getting to spend time with Krista for a little bit is so much more important than getting some stripe 6 months before I'm supposed to get it.
On to more important matters, I want to apologize to everyone that I didn't see much of or didn't see at all. Britt, you are one of those I am trying to reach for this. Know that I did try and get in touch with you, probably could have tried harder, but I didn't make it. I'm sorry to you and the ones that I just seen for a little while and didn't really get to focus much time on. Know that you all are still my friends, and I wasn't ignoring you purposely. Its just so hard to juggle time in such a short period where everyone is satisfied. I will try harder next time and hopefully I will get back sooner than this past time.
While I was on leave I cannot tell you how good it was to get to see Krista. Spending time with her was literally the greatest time spent. She is so precious to me and I hated to leave her. I had to muster up all within me to keep her from seeing me cry. I've never had a girl care for me so much, and of course I've never cared so much for a girl. We created some really great memories together that I will never forget as long as I live. Especially on our eighth month anniversary where I finally declared my love for her. I could talk about how great she is a lot more, but eventually people would probably get annoyed. I'm going to try my best to come in as soon as possible so I can see her again, and its very likely it'll be March or April as long as manning isn't down. But I will work my butt off for my superiors so they will work their butts off to get me back in Virginia. Time apart is always hard and I know Krista is going to hate it for a while, I know I do. But her and I will get back into the swing of things like they were before I came, and then we'll see each other again, then it'll suck when I have to leave again, but its all part of being in the military. Thank God I won't be in it forever. We just gotta keep these hellos and goodbyes up for a little while longer. We have found something that will keep us bound to each other. Love. I love you Krista Kay Duty.
